3 bed detached house for sale

Vicarage Close, Aylesford ME20

If you are looking for a detached home in a quiet cul-de-sac setting, at the centre of a friendly village that has great commuter links, then look no further. This beautifully presented property has been extended to the front and rear and thoughtfully remodelled to incorporate a larger entrance hall and living room, ground floor cloakroom and utility room, as well as a large light flooded kitchen-dining room to the rear. There are two double bedrooms and one single as well as a recently re-installed bathroom on the first floor, and it is felt there is potential to extend either into the loft or over the existing rear extension subject to the usual consents being obtained. Externally, there is a driveway for numerous vehicles, single garage, front garden area as well as a generous mature rear garden that faces a sunny south-easterly aspect and is a testament to the current owners hard work and time spent creating it. Commuters will enjoy the short 23 minutes (16 miles) drive to Ebbsfleet International that has frequent high-speed trains to London St Pancras in as little as 18 minutes. Alternatively, Aylesford station is around 17 minutes away by foot and has trains into the city in under an hour and the M2 and M20 motorways are also a short drive away.

We love Aylesford village. How can you not? It has a great community spirit, some really interesting historic properties and many places to eat and drink! Our favourite eatery has to be The Hengist; a recently refurbished restaurant, bar and brasserie with a lovely al-fresco terrace. The Chequers is a more traditional pub which serves food and has a wonderful riverside terrace. You can also enjoy a light bite inside or outside at The Village Pantry, or at weekends for a friendly and cosy meal Sherlocks is worth a try, or perhaps a pint and a bite to eat in The Bush public house. There are lovely riverside walks, walks through the neighbouring farmland and just on the edge of the village is The Friars; an ancient religious house open to the public with a cafe, farmers market and peaceful gardens. There is a small primary school in the centre of the village and further primary school just outside the village, both of which were rated as good in the latest Ofsted report as well as a secondary school in the wider Aylesford area. You are spoilt for choice when it comes to shopping, with an M & S foodstore, Sainsburys and an Aldi just up the road. Commuters are well served with London services (changing at Strood) from Aylesford station and you’ve got access to both the M2 and M20 nearby. If this isn’t enough, then the County Town of Maidstone is just 4 miles away and has a multitude of retail, educational and recreational facilities.
